Phil was the consummate chameleon of comedy and the ultimate straight man. According to legend, his nickname at\u00a0<em>SNL<\/em> was The Glue because he could hold most of the show&#8217;s mediocre stuff together. I personally feel he went on to have the career everyone thought Dan Akroyd could have, if Dan made wiser life decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He was a key element to the success of <em>The Simpsons<\/em> through Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz too. Matt Groening agreed about this fact which is why the part of Captain Brannigan from <em>Futurama<\/em> was created just for Phil. Phil insisted on auditioning since he didn&#8217;t like the idea of it being handed to him; this is from the commentaries on the DVD. After the tragedy, Groening had the lead character Fry renamed Philip J. Fry in Phil&#8217;s memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This week, I need to hunt down something he did that was a standard example of his talent. <em>News Radio<\/em> is a better candidate but it&#8217;s difficult to rent a TV series and I think he mainly had supporting roles in films. I&#8217;m open to suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rule number one with divorce, move out before or immediately after you tell your spouse the ugly news of your decision.
